Rolex Submariner Two-Tone Watches For 2009: I Finally Caught The Fever
Rolex is the most powerful watch brand in the world. That does not mean Rolex watches are the best, or that they are worth the most. Rather that the brand itself has the highest value. It does this through a combination of working with incredibly fancy marketing firms such as M. Booth & Associates, in addition to its in-house people...and by having pretty nice looking watches. The secret Rolex formula has been attempted to be replicated on many occasions, but without success.? However, on an dollar for dollar measurement, Rolex outspends its competitors by nearly double when it comes to marketing and advertising. So you really are buying a name, but maybe it is a name worth buying. Rolex watches are of the few that when you sell them, you can usually get the same or more as when you bought them. That is power. And I sure as hell am not immune to it being a watch lover. I don't take keenly to all Rolex watches, but there are some you can't resist. No sane watch lover can deny that t

Considering trading a few Rolexes for one AP
Hello AP Forum. I'm considering (upon my return home in a few months) selling/trading the following pieces for a 15450 (37mm), preferably used still under warranty. This watch has mesmerized COMPLETELY.14060 (Sub 2 Line)16060 (Sub Date)Adding cash I was going to spend on a Rolex DJ 6-7kHave I completely lost my mind? I am open to someone speaking some common sense into me, PLEASE. I was originally going to purchase a DJ for my dress watch, but have been staring/drooling over the 15450 for the last 48 hours. I own an SD, so the Sub bug will still be satiated, and I also have a Pepsi and Explorer, so I will still have variety. However, I feel the AP would bring a completely different element to my watch family. Would you all recommend buying NIB from a trusted seller here, or LNIB with some warranty left so I can potentially get the third year warranty via AP, also from a trusted seller?Lastly, correct me if I'm wrong, but the 15450 only comes in a white dial right? That's okay if it doe

Need some 36mm AP/RO advice
Though a 36mm Rolex Explorer I would make me happy, happy, happy... I just don't need the attention it may draw from customers or employees. I've had displays of wealth come back and bite me in the ass.Searching for a brand to fly under the radar, I've become interested in a 36mm AP-Royal Oak.I really like 36mm for my day to day use. I cannot stand much more than that size.Is there anything that should concern me about discontinued models?I understand the servicing can be expensive and time consuming.Is it more the passage of time and changing fashion that I see so few 36mm RO's? Very little discussion...They are priced right to boot.Any guidance appreciated.

Wait for ceramic or go FC?

PO 42mm - 2500 vs. 300M
Good day, all.Abqrolexfan posted up pics of his new 300M the other day and I fell in love with the watch - but as a gift for my father. I started looking at the pics of the new 300M in black non-wave dial and really like it, however, the more I looked at it the more I began to wonder if it will be harder for him to read. At age 71, my dad's eyesight is pretty good, but as years move on it may diminish to some extent.So on to the OMega website...Hmmm, the PO 2500 looks like a fantastic option: clearly marked hours, hour & minute hands that are smooth and clean. A very clear and concise layout overall.I guess I'm wondering if anyone can help me out with the heft of the watch or how bulky one may be over the other. Dad doesn't wear a watch, but has been commenting on my Omega ever since I purchased it a few months ago. I know he's gonna love it...he's got an average wrist size and a 41mm vs 42mm won't be much issue. I am thinking the PO may be chunkier than the 300M - would I be
